The Nitty Gritty

Genevieve takes on her most difficult design challenge yet by converting her current Manhattan apartment and a recently purchased adjacent unit into a single beautiful home. As seen here, Genevieve doesn't shy away from the physical aspects of this ambitious undertaking.

Downstairs Bathroom, Before

The first project in the renovation was this first-floor bathroom in the newly purchased adjacent apartment. The current tile had been installed improperly over brick, and the tub was improperly installed as well.

Downstairs Bathroom, After

The renovated bathroom functions as the guest bath and also as the bath space for Genevieve's young daughter Bebelle. It's luxuriously appointed with a new freestanding tub, brass fixtures, marble vanity, oversized mirror and new toilet.

After. A bunk bed serves as storage until Bebelle is old enough to access it via a ladder. Genevieve saved on expenses by repurposing some old family furniture, including this antique bed that belonged to her grandmother. The wooden bed frame is freshly painted black, and the bed is tucked beneath the bunk shelf.

After. A child-sized desk painted black to match the bed frame, wooden chair painted in turquoise and a vintage department store mannequin are among the eclectic mix of accessories in Bebelle's new room.
